gramsBreakfast carbonara was one of my favorite weekend brunch comfort foods after I discovered Alton Brown’s recipe in his book, Everyday Cook. I haven’t had it since I went keto almost three years ago. With a few tweaks, including the popular viral keto noodles, breakfast carbonara is back on the menu. If you’re looking for something new to do with your keto spaghetti/ramen, this recipe is perfect for a weekend brunch. It’s total keto comfort food.
Ingredients
4 servings keto spaghetti
8 oz ground breakfast sausage (225g)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup flat leaf Italian parsley, finely chopped (7g)
1/3 cup pork rind panko (10g)
1 TB orange zest
3 oz fresh grated parmesan (90g)
4 larg eggs, room temp and beaten
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (60mL)
Directions
- Make the keto spaghetti noodle recipe, ideally the night before.
- In a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium high heat, brown the ground breakfast sausage.
- Either while the sausage is browning or before (depending on your multi-tasking prep skill) do steps 4 and 5
- Combine the parsley, pork rind panko and orange zest in a small bowl and set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, parmesan and black pepper and set aside.
- Once the sausage is brown and crumbled, add the green onions. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the keto spaghetti to the sausage and stir until the noodles have absorbed any sausage fat and the sausage is well combined with the noodles.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until you see the bottom of the pan start to dry.
- Add the heavy whipping cream (optional, but this makes the dish more saucy). Stir and cook for another minute or two before removing from the heat.
- Transfer to plates and sprinkle the parsley/panko/zest mixture on top.

Notes
- Nutritional info is based on a serving size of 1/4th the total recipe. That is a VERY generous and fill portion size.
- Prep time assumes that you have already made the keto spaghetti recipe.

Hi Steve, not sure if I should leave a comment here or on YouTube. I’ve made this twice now and it’s amazing! I’m not a fan of sausage so this time I’m using ground turkey, which I prefer. It makes a LOT of food and it’s very filling. Thank you for another meal staple in the rotation!
